So, what's it to be this year? Will it be Roses, Quality Street, Celebrations or Heroes?

ETA I voted for Celebrations mainly because there wasn't one in there I didn't like.

It's a family thing - we always buy Roses and would never dream of buying Quality Street - I don't even know the colours or flavours!

I however won't be buying any - I much prefer cheese!!!

Nom nom nom!!

I always buy roses, but, we were given a plastic tub at work from a patient to say thank you. The sweets inside seem to be wrapped in bigger foils, there didn't seem to be as many inside the tub as there normally is.

We could always Celebrate the Heroes of Quality Street with a bunch of Roses.

A big tin of Roses was always a family tradition at christmas when I was a kid, but something went wrong with them, did the centre's change? cos I prefer quality street now over roses and saying that as a kid would have been blasphemy!!! Having said all of that. i prefer celebrations over both of them now

Roses used to be swingin', now they're a bit dodgy.

Probably one of each.

They are all a bit shit now compared to years ago.

What about the boxes of rectangular Neopolitan bars - they were scrummy - I believe they're only available in M&S now...

A tin of Roses/Quality Street 20 years ago cost about £8 a tin.
I imagine it has been the supermarkets wanting to sell at around £5 that has forced the size of the tins (now plastic) to be halved.

Whichever you choose I bet the tin will be small than it was last year?
